@leon-Fleming that’s very good of you. Likewise, your apology is also accepted. Yes, some forms of poetry can be quite hideous.
Ha! Well if my arguing was of some use than I am glad. I also find it is easier to figure out your own thoughts on things if you write them down.
No, I am not on Story Embers.

@Leon-Fleming upon further reflection, I realize I must apologize. I have been arguing for the sake of it and not because I have something constructive to say. And you are correct that I have been stating opinion as fact. You clearly have me beat on your knowledge of poetry and I really don’t have a leg to stand on so I concede to you. Yes, all…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well I said it probably wasn’t the correct definition. Ok so that clears things up a bit. Personally, I still wouldn’t class it as poetry but until I become president of some world wide literary organization something-or-other, there isn’t much I can do about it. XD
I really think that we are saying basically the same things, but…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming ha! Well that’s true in a sense although I don’t often find occasion to talk about Truffala Trees or Sneeds or Rare Who Roast Beast. XD
When I say prose I am referring to anything classed as poetry without rhyme. Haiku’s, for example. I am sure I am probably giving things a broader coverage than they deserve but that’s how I…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming lol ok, so I see it as cheating to simply make up words to rhyme with the one you are using. Find a real word or change the word you are rhyming with. At the same time, the very things I think he was a cheat for I also see as quite brilliant. If you can’t find a word, make one! Confusing, I know.
I can certainly see why you…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well calculus was created during a pandemic so…
Ah, because the literary snob in me says that prose is cheating in the same way that Dr. Seuse was equally cheating and a genius by making up words to rhyme with. In my mind, if it is labeled poetry it should rhyme and you should have had to suffer a bit to create it. 😜 Just kidding…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming hehe who is overly fond of math? XD
I see what you are saying. I am afraid I have never read any of Tolkien’s works but I think I get the idea.
Its an interesting concept. I have a bit of a prejudice against prose (ok, ok a big prejudice, blame the snob in me) but it would be interesting to see both mixed together. Perhaps sometime…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming wow that sounds really involved. It seems like you got all the math worked out for it. I have never heard of somebody writing a novel in poetry. I am curious, is this in rhyming poetry or prose?

@Leon-Fleming you are right. NaNoWriMo in November is supposed to help you write like 50k words in a month or something by writing 2k a day. I am talking about camp NaNoWriMo in April and July which are supposed to help you get on track and practice writing that much for November. July isn’t as strict as November.

Hey, y’all!
Is anyone here doing camp NaNoWriMo this year? Or has anyone ever done it before? I haven’t decided whether to attempt it or not this year, I am still trying to get back into my writing stride. I thought if peeps were going to do it then we could put together a writing group like they have on the NaNoWriMo website. Just like keep each…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>*blows dust from keyboard* Sorry, peeps, things got hectic.</p>
@daughteroftheking love the name of your blog! It sounds so dramatic. And you story installments sound interesting too. I dont necessarily know how to do climaxes but I have heard it said that to build tension you use short, quick sentences.
Thanks!…[Read more]

@Emma-flournoy hmm 21st century problems in the medievil era? 😂

@Emma-flournoy 😁 lol we will see if Kate gets your page. If not, we may have to get really midevil and have you tell her in person.
Yeah, that’s why I chose Anne of Green Gables the nobly problems there are of her own making. Besides it sounds so pretty!

@dekreel hey! That’s awesome you are in art now! If you ever go back to writing you can illustrate your own books.
Doing pretty good over here just busy busy. Great idea tagging peeps, why didn’t the rest of us think of that?

@Emma-flournoy hey!!!! That is awesome that you are looking into a proofreading business! I am sure there plenty numb-fingered blurry-eyed writers out there that could use your help! I am afraid that I (flawed human being that I am) would see the only merit in being a professional proofreader as having the authority to tell somebody when they have…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper hobbits? Is that what you’ve been eating?
Ahhh. I hope when you cuddle up on that pile of blankets they are straight out of the dryer. So cozy!

@dragon-snapper I am the same way with writing in first person. Its hard to get out of it.
A great affliction, indeed. May I ask, how do you sleep?

@dragon-snapper thanks!
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Wow! I am not usually interested in Sci-fi but that sounds interesting! What a great idea. Your poor, confused MC. 😊</p>
Well we all have our faults. Yours is better than burning down houses or raiding defenseless villages but your legs must get awfully tired.
